Daniel Gonzalez's Story

The Last Three Entries of The Diary of David Goodman
(Translated into English)

March 3, 1941

My name is David and I am in hiding at this moment. I am in the attic of my friend Christian's house. While I am in here I pass the time with this journal. Today I went to church with Christian so we dont get caught for hiding jews. We are planning to talk to our friend Robby who is a sailor to get us to America. I am in Denmark so that we be a long time. I am hearing people talking outside so this may or may not be my last words. Good they left no I am going to get my fake papers becuase I am going to go be the priest at the 5th street church it is a sacrifice but it is the best way to stay alive.

I went to the church to become the priest so I can hide out but while I was in there Nazis ran throught the town guns blazing so I hid in the church's closet for who knows how long. When it was safe I ran for it and now I am in here. Writing in this journal like it will be my last words but who knows it might be. In good news I am now the 5th street church priest. I am as safe as a person hiding in a glass room so I still need to be careful. (gasp) they found me.


March 28, 1941

I just got out of the concentration camp I was in for 4 years. The way I got out is pretending like I died but I had to run to get out of the burner. I offically am free becuase Robby has his boat ready. I hate the fact that Christian died becuase he helped me. This is a sad road for me the only thing that is happy is that I am satill living but everybody in the world who I knew is dead becuase they helped me. This is officaly my last entry. BYE
